Day 555: Neverlanding

There aren't many jokes that I really love that other people understand. I mean, I can only make the Paradox joke so many times before people get annoyed (although it has made it's way into a sermon at church!). A lot of the time, my jokes fall flat not because they're not funny, but because it's just not the right crowd. So when I do come across a set of jokes that other people understand, I love to share them with absolutely everyone I know, and this is one of those cases, sort of.

There's this list of 24 jokes that only OUAT fans will understand, and one of the jokes on the list is probably my all time favorite set of jokes. Why? Because they never grow old...

Thank you tumblr. 

There's also this gem though: 

I can't even express to you the number of times people have sent me this meme. I should probably just print it out and put it on my desk. But then people might stop sending it to me, and that's just not fun. 

BAE. What does it mean? Technically, I guess it means Before Anything Else. I prefer this description. Because really...Bae is Bae. There's no other Bae. Full stop.

A completely accurate description of Season one. There are no other words for the accuracy. 

I tried to make a OUAT relationship map once. It turned out looking like this: 

Wait...that's not really funny. I also accidentally deleted the file that had the edits for that family tree on it. My life was ruined. 

You can find the full list of Jokes only OUAT fans will understand HERE!

Have a magical day!

Day 461: Peter Pan

The following blog post could really turn out as a rant, but I'll try to restrain myself. Also, if you have never read Peter Pan and still wish to do so spoiler free, you have been warned.

I read Peter Pan this weekend. While my parents and brother and Godfather went to a concert, I stayed at my Godfather's house and read almost all of Peter Pan (I had started it a couple days earlier). Of course, the novel is the inspiration for the famous Disney film as well as many others and the entire plotline of S3A of Once Upon A Time. With a favorite OUAT character like Hook, it's kind of hard NOT to love the idea of Peter Pan. I mean, without Peter Pan, there would be no Hook! And how sad the show would be then.

So I'm happily reading along, laughing at things here and there (HA HOOK AND PERMS) and so on and so forth. Except I guess I missed the memo. HOOK. DIED. Like WHAT? One page he's fighting Pan and all confident and then you turn the page and he DIES. I was so distraught. But I kept reading anyways, and then TINK DIES. And at that point I just wanted to throw the book at the wall. Still, I keep going to finish it off and it basically says that Wendy's family (daughters and grand-daughters, etc. specifically) is eternal slaves to Peter when it comes to spring cleaning.

It's a good thing it was the end of the book because I was done with this nonsense.

But I guess overall it made me realize how brilliant Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis (the creators of OUAT) are. I mean, the story they created when it comes to Peter Pan and Neverland fits perfectly with the themes of the original story. Ok, so maybe Hook is a bit off, but I'm ok with that. PLENTY. OK.

Thinking about it though, and we were learning this in Fairy Tales, Peter Pan never wants to grow up, and it's basically like having children of your own is a symbol of that stage of growing into an adult. So Pan refuses to go with Wendy and scolds her for having children of her own. On Once Upon A Time, we all hated that he abandoned Rumple and that Pan was Rumple's father, but personally I now think it was a great idea. Rumple is, basically, the symbol of Pan's adult life, and in order to revert to childhood, Pan must get rid of it. Hence the abandonment.

Brilliant, right?

But there's more! Pan also doesn't really care whether or not anyone dies. If Wendy had died he probably would have just gone off and found another girl. The same goes for Hook when Pan kills him, as well as countless others in the story (lost boys that have come and gone), etc. Well on Once Upon A Time, it seems to me that the same theme is there: Pan doesn't really care if Liam (Hook's brother) dies, and he does really seem to care if Henry dies (HE KILLED HIM BASICALLY).

Again, Brilliant.

Anyways, overall I really didn't enjoy Peter Pan the book. I think my expectations are a bit high when it comes to pirates, so that makes it a bit difficult. But I will soon be reviewing the classic Disney film as well as the ever popular "Hook," so that should be coming in the next few weeks for sure!

Have a magical day!

Day 336: Save Henry

FINALLY!

Yes, it's once again a Monday, and you all know what that means (honestly if you don't then you need to pay more attention to this blog...or my twitter...or facebook...or anything honestly, unless you're just getting here, then I guess you can be excused).

So, two weeks ago we ended with a bit of a problem...Henry's dead. I guess that's probably not good considering they all came to Neverland and almost died multiple times now to save him. But considering the title of tonight's episode, I think we all kind of predicted what will be happening. Anyway, if you haven't seen this episode yet, here's your warning!

SPOILERS FOR ONCE UPON A TIME EPISODE 3X09: Save Henry

This week's episode starts out with a flashback to, sort of, Season 1. It seems to me that we come back to the wedding of Snow and Charming and that fateful day all the time...as well as the birth of Emma, which is where we are now. Regina is hanging with Rumple in his little underground cave, where she gloats and he warns her about her new problem that she'll eventually have based on the hole in her heart from killing her father, Henry.

Oh, and Rumple sings a song. That was pretty entertaining if I do say so myself.

So then we go back to Neverland, where Pan is doing his little creepy flying thing and the parents are trying to figure out if Henry is dead. Emma tries to stab Pan, but we all know he can go from one place to another with just a thought, so that doesn't seem to work. She eventually nicks him though, causing Regina to figure out that "If we can hurt him we can kill him." Ok then.

11 years previous, Archie and Regina are having a chat about how angry Regina has been lately, and Archie figures that it's because she has no one to share her life with. I'm pretty sure he's right because she lives in a giant house all by herself and has done so for 11 years. Plus, when Owen came last season she was kind of weird around him. So what does Regina do? Goes to Gold, of course! Who else would you go to to get your a baby?

Regina seems a bit unsure about whether or not she can be a mother, and Rumple kind of goes into that too, mentioning that you must put your child first. Flash forward to Regina putting a preservation spell on the now dead Henry. Regina is all "My son!" and Emma is all "Our Son!" and then Regina kind of freaks out and is like "You have everything! I only have Henry!" so Emma puts her in charge. Although I have to say, I really enjoyed the part where Regina was like "The pirate who pines for you!" Bahaha, made me laugh.

So they take dead Henry and head to Pan's camp, where Hook and Tink have all the Lost Boys tied up to trees and stumps and such. Makes it easy for them I suppose. Regina feels like threatening them, but Emma stops her and decides they need to appeal more to the side of the lost children who want a mother. I guess Emma would know something about that, being thrown in the wardrobe and everything. They try this approach, and it works, except for Felix, but it's ok, Hook's keeping him in line.

Head back 11 years ago, where Rumple has found Regina a baby for adoption in Boston. So Regina heads to Boston and we finally, FINALLY, meet Baby Henry! I don't know about you guys, but I don't think I've ever gone "Awww" so many times in one episode of Once Upon a Time. I mean Baby Henry is ADORABLE! I actually heard a rumor about him too, that Baby Henry is actually Colin's son, Evan, but I haven't heard for sure either way. She takes him back to Storybrooke and we find out that Regina is actually a pretty terrible mother, as Henry just will not stop crying. So she takes him to Doctor Whale, who is all "if you want me to run tests on your new baby you have to contact the birth mother." UH OH! Also, Mary Margaret is a great mom apparently!

Regina contacts Sydney (who I'm happy to see back, even if only via phone!), and he finds out that Henry's mom's name is Emma...who also happens to have been found in the forest outside Storybrooke 18 years ago. Even bigger UH OH! Regina's mad and confronts Gold, who is all "What?" because he doesn't know and Regina storms out with Henry.

Back in Neverland, everyone's split up again, because that works. Regina, Emma and Mary Margaret head to find Pan at his tree, but IT'S A TRAP! Like seriously, it's bad news. They find out about how Pan is Rumple's father and then Emma is like "My family just got more messed up." Ok, she didn't say it, but she was totally thinking it. Turns out the tree is based on regrets, and Regina doesn't have any of that, so they get free, Regina grabs Pan's (I mean Henry's) heart and the box with Rumple and they head back to the Jolly!

So they put Henry's heart in Henry, and he wakes up and all is well and Hook is all adorable (honestly I felt like in that moment when he was like "Only the best for our guest of honor, Captain's Quarters," it showcased just how much Hook actually does care. He would probably offer the quarters either way, but there's just this sincerity in his voice that makes it wonderful!) and all seems to be well.

Previously, as in 11 years ago, Regina brings Henry into the crypt and makes herself a potion and drinks it so she can forget all about how Emma is Henry's birth mother. She also tells an adorable story, and I think this part really does show how much Regina loves him. That's what this episode is about, after all, how much Regina loves Henry. It's all about Henry!

So we go to the Captain's Quarters with Regina and Henry, and I have to say that Hook has some serious decorating skills. I love the pillows on his bed. Like...a lot. It looks super comfy! Regina puts a spell on Henry so no one can steal his heart ever again...because that's not foreshadowing. Yeah, a minute later guess who shows up, Pan.

Meanwhile Neal and Rumple have a moment up on deck. Cute, but Hook has no one, so less cute. Anyway, down below Pan is trying to steal Pan's shadow but that fails and then some other weird stuff happens and Rumple traps Pan in the box. They make it so the shadow is attached to the sails of the Jolly and it flies again! Oh...and Hook says something: "As You Wish, Milady." AHHHH!

Wendy gives Tink some Pixie Dust, Neal and Henry have a talk up on the deck, Regina and Tink have a chat as well, and Tink makes the dust glow cause she believes in herself. So then Henry brings Felix some food, but Felix is angry. But Peter Pan never fails...wait, what? What did Henry just say? Oh darn! PETER PAN IS IN HENRY! HENRY IS IN PETER PAN! THEY'VE SWITCHED BODIES!

Now, let's play! Oh...and here's one more picture of Baby Henry, in case you didn't have enough before!

In honor of tonight's episode, I'm sure you could guess who my Disneybound would be. I was actually quite excited about this one, and have been for weeks now. My Henry outfit was pretty legit, I mean, I had the black peacoat, the grey shoes (basically the same ones he wears at one point), jeans, a plaid shirt and a Henry scarf that my mom made me specifically for this outfit (and that I will now wear every so often in rotation with my other winter scarves. 

 

Here's today's Disney History: 1984: Twenty-year-old Margarita Granados gives birth to a baby girl at Disneyland! Nine months pregnant, she gives birth while waiting for her husband Juan...who is riding Space Mountain. It is only the second birth in Disneyland history. 

Have a magical day!

Day 322: Think Lovely Thoughts

Previously on Once Upon a Time...that's what I hear every Sunday and then every Monday as I watch Once on TV and then Hulu. So yeah, previously, a lot of crap happened, and Peter Pan is evil and Henry is under his control basically and everyone is in Neverland and there's a love triangle and I was really hoping for some CaptainSwan this week.

SO....SPOILER ALERT FOR 3x08: Think Lovely Thoughts

We begin this week with a flashback that a lot of people have been waiting for for a very long time: Rumple's Father. I've actually known that this was for sure coming for months now. It was one of the confirmed things for this season before the season actually began, stuff that also included a backstory on Hook, which we obviously already got (and I still watch almost weekly). So here's little Rumple and his father, Colin (although I don't think they actually ever say his name in the episode. I may be wrong though, but that IS his name. Funny, huh?) Rumple's father is a coward, like Rumple himself (and Bae if you ask me...they're all cowards. Not a good chain to be born into Henry...), and is gambling. Some people figure it out though and so Rumple has to see his father be beat up all the time.

Meanwhile Wendy and Pan are still lying to Henry, Regina has a chat with Rumple, Rumple's father sends Rumple to learn about spinning wheels and on Neverland with Emma and the Gang, Emma and Mary Margaret have a chat about who's staying on Neverland. Emma is not very happy about the fact that her family will be split up again (my brain asks if this family now includes Hook, because I think it should no matter what). But of course Neal is around when they stumble upon Rumple and Regina, and the truth about the prophecy is let out. Personally I think that Rumple is truly trying to save Henry. Like Hook I believe that Rumple can change. He obviously wasn't always bad, so I think he's trying to be that good person either way. Oh, and I missed the party where Rumple's dad gave little Rumple the doll that we saw earlier in the season. More on that later.

On a side note, I LOVED how Hook was the last one to raise his sword against Rumple. He didn't bristle at the fact that his mortal enemy was there. No, he stood untied because of HENRY. Good job Hook. That's Good Form right there. 

Back to the backstory, the two creepy old ladies that Rumple's dad left him with (they have connection somewhere to some fairytale but I honestly can't figure out what it is), tell Rumple that while he has real natural talent at the spinning wheel, he cannot live with his father and not be looked upon with shame. He must instead travel to another realm. So they give Rumple a magic bean. Huh, funny how those keep popping up. 

In Neverland everyone is arguing with Rumple. That seriously takes up about 5-10 minutes of this entire episode. Honestly I am not a HUGE Rumple fan but I hate everyone for totally ignoring him, especially Neal. I mean, I guess there's tension everywhere, and the whole abandoning thing, but does Henry really hate Emma THAT much for abandoning him? I mean, I guess everything is all different, but still. The only one I'll let slide is Hook...partly because he's my favorite and partly because...well...the whole Milah thing really wasn't fair. 

Rumple's dad is still a coward in the old Enchanted Forest, and Little Rumple isn't very happy about that. I think it's AWESOME how they paralleled this entire part with Rumple and Bae. It seriously makes me happy because that's a great portion of storytelling. Of course, Rumple's reaction when Bae shows up with a bean is a bit different from his dad's reaction when he brings a bean, but still. So, can you guess where they decide to go? 

Neverland. 

No one saw that one coming, now did they? Actually I think we ALL saw that one coming. Anyway, so yes, they jump in a portal and go to Neverland. Because that was so easy, right?  

So now we have the whole two minutes of Hook and Emma conversation...which has nothing really to do with Hook and Emma. Ok, it has a little bit. So Emma pulls Hook back and is asking him about David leaving the island. The silver lining here? She asks about his brother. One sentence...but hey! We'll take anything! So then Rumple walks in and is all "Unless there was a cure," and then he goes on about how there is a cure or he can make one because he had it before and so on and so forth. But they're there: at Pan's camp. So my favorite moment of the night happens, when Rumple is all "I'm gonna borrow this" and just take's Hook's sword and comments about his good looks and then Hook is all "ummm" and so Charming throws a sword at Hook "in case his good looks fail him." Bromance right there. 

Also, I'd like to comment that the only thing Neal has is the coconut with the shadow. How is that helpful when you're in a fight? 

So Emma and the Gang go into Pan's camp but Henry and Pan aren't there, but Wendy is, and they rescue her, kind of. And so they all have a nice little chat, while in the Enchanted Forest Rumple and his dad make it to Neverland...where after a failed attempt at a crow, his father lands in a faceplant after a failed attempt at flying. 

What does Wendy say though? HENRY'S GONNA DIE. HE WILL DIE. So then we see Pan and Henry rowing into the Skull Cave. Now, as a person who loves all these classic fairytales, I adore that this is where this is all going to go down. I mean, there's seriously no better place. Pan puts a protection spell at the bottom of the steps so no one with a shadow can get through. Which we later find out to mean everyone other than Rumple. 

Then everyone splits up. Charming and Snow are gonna go get water from Dead Man's Peak to bring back and cure Charming. Hook and Tink (much to my dissapointment) are gonna stay behind and guard the lost boys. Emma, Neal, Regina and Rumple are all going to go save Henry. I assume Wendy is just chilling with Hook and Tink. 

In the really distant past Neverland, Rumple and his dad are trying to find Pixie Dust...which is apparently in some trees. If that's the truth WHY COULDN'T EVERYONE ELSE FIND SOME!?! Unless he used all of it. Ok, I guess that makes sense...but still. Little Rumple is scared and doesn't want to climb the tree so he stays at the bottom while his dad climbs. But while up near the top he meets someone, the shadow. AND THE SHADOW IS SO CREEPY AND I LOVE IT!!!! Oh they did a WONDERFUL job with the Shadow!!!! 

Emma and her Smaller Gang are headed to the Skull and find the cursed staircase, which Rumple can get through but no one else can because they all have Shadows. So now it's Rumple's job alone to go and rescue Henry. Because that will end well. 

But the parents aren't very happy about this, so Regina and Emma figure out that if they block the moonlight they can get through...but they have to work together to use their magic. Ok, now, my entire Once Party that gets together every week was all holding up our hands. We were helping too!!! 

Up in the top of the Skull Cave Henry is learning lies from Pan, because Pan is just a jerk. Henry is kind of a jerk too, but more on that in a minute. Rumple and his dad are arguing, because that's what they do. See, his dad is not very happy about the fact that he's not a child, and that needs to change, and in order to do that, he needs to get rid of Rumple. Hence, abandonment. Hence...PETER PAN. 

Yes, Rumple's father is Peter Pan. As if this entire family tree could not get more messed up than it already was. IT JUST DID. And then, the shocker. Pan switched the Pandora's Boxes. My entire party was like "GASP." Actually it was quite entertaining. I see a lot of spoilers and I NEVER saw that one coming. That was truly shocking. And so, Rumple's Dad, Peter Pan, locks his son in Pandora's Box. Oh, and no one knows that, not Emma or Neal or anyone other than Pan. 

Rumple's crying over his father and lost doll. That's kind of important, because the doll is in Neverland, hence how he gets it earlier in Season 3. Pan finds out that he's the first one to stay on Neverland, and the shadow tells him that he has "Bad Form." Ok, he doesn't actually say that, but he does tell him that he's breaking the rules. Pan says he'll find a way to live though...and Henry. 

Henry is how he's gonna live. So Pan tells him that he has to rip out his own heart and give it to Pan, and then Magic will be saved. HENRY YOU ARE AN IDIOT. So what does he do? HE LISTENS and RIPS OUT HIS OWN HEART. But before he can put it in Pan, The Parents show up and try to tell him to stop and convince him that Pan is lying. But Pan brings up the whole "Regina lied to you and Emma lied to you and Neal is Neal, so don't listen to them" thing. And so Henry gives his heart to Peter Pan. Pan floats up into the air and Henry crumbles to the ground. 

And if all of that was no shocking enough for you...no new Once for TWO WEEKS. YOU HEARD ME...TWO WEEKS. 

So in other words, Everyone's split up, no CaptainSwan this week, Henry is dead, Pan is Rumple's father and is very much alive, Wendy is no longer Pan's captive, and we're all gonna die. 

Yep, that sums it up. 

 

This Week's Once Upon a Time Disneybound is inspired by everyone's favorite fairy, Tinkerbell! This is probably one of my favorites because the hair was honestly kind of fun to do, and I got to wear one of my favorite scarves! Plus the boots are used again! I used them back for Neal and now again for Tink. Am I sad we didn't get to see a lot of her this week though? You bet I am. Although it is noted that one of the few times she speaks is to Neal...just as one of the few times Hook speaks is directly to Emma. Sense what I'm getting at here? 

 

And Frumpstagram. Today's prompt was Crossover, and it took me a while before I realized that I have one sitting right on my desk! It's my Minnie Mouse and Princess Leia Crossover Vinylmation! Totally one of my favorites (although I only have five so I guess I can't really pick a favorite). It's especially great since today is the 85th birthday of Mickey AND Minnie!! Happy Birthday to the two coolest mice in the world! 

Hence today's Disney History: 1928: Mickey Mouse stars in Steamboat Willie, the first commercially successful animated cartoon to use synchronized sound. Disney's third Mickey short (but the first with sound) debuts as a sneak preview at Universal's Colony Theatre. It is shown before the feature film Gang War. Despite the fact that this is not the first Mickey cartoon made or released, it is still considered Mickey Mouse's true debut...and birthday!

Have a magical day...and let's all hope we don't die before the next episode of OUAT!

Day 279: Lost Girl

Well, here it is, the second episode of Season 3 of Once Upon a Time, and I'm pretty sure that this season I'm just going to go on some sort of rantish thing for every episode, because that just makes sense, right? I mean, when you're looking at this year there are only what, 9 episodes left.

Wait. 9 episodes left. That's it? And then another "summer break" that's really a winter break but is three months (12 weeks) long?!? I'm going to die.

But before I die, I suppose I can just go on talking about tonight's episode, which, in true Oncer fashion, I loved! Honestly, after watching it twice (I'm actually writing this on the 9th to be sure that spoilers aren't revealed...and I was sick sooooo), it certainly does prove that the original magic we found in season one is back. So here are some of my comments.

I kind of wanted to save this for the end, but didn't. Can we just stop for a minute and talk about Hook? I mean, even if you aren't a CaptainSwan shipper or don't like Hook a ton, you have to admit that his banter and lines in this episode were, as he would say, Bloody Brilliant! Between him and Charming arguing the entire episode and his little moments with Emma, I just couldn't handle it. The big one of the night though? This:

Now don'y you deny it. You laughed, didn't you? You did! Yeah, and that kind of stuff just continued throughout the entire episode. It really, really did. So much Captain Hook and all of it spectacular! 

Anyway, moving on from how hilarious Hook is, I thought the entire theme of the episode was wonderful. We've all been waiting for that Emma/Mary Margaret conversation since the curse broke, and we finally got it. I have never seen Emma as one to really rely on her parents, even after she accepts them as that. She was best friends with Mary Margaret before the curse broke, and they are the same age, so that has to be more than a bit creepy. In other words, I love the fact that Emma got the map to work only after admitting she's an orphan. I can't wait to see how this comes into play in the next number of episodes, because in reality she's a lost girl, and hasn't forgiven her parents, and therefore she won't be able to leave the island either, right? But then there's the fact that Rumple and Hook are also both Orphans, and they left? It's hard to say because we don't really know how either of that worked, and now we're getting Tinkerbell into the mix, with Regina being her enemy, so we'll see where that all goes.

But by far the biggest shocker of the episode was Charming. Now, David has always been one of my favorite characters. In fact, he was my favorite up until I rewatched Season 2, when Hook pulled ahead in the race for my favorite character (although I will always totally love Emma, and Henry. I mean, how can you not love Henry?). But this episode honestly made me hate him a little bit. Like just the way he wasn't trusting Hook at all was getting on my nerves. Yes, Hook is my favorite so that's probably half the reason I was angry, but Hook does know Neverland better than anyone else in that group, so shouldn't Charming be trusting him? Totally just realized something else too but I'll rewatch it to make sure I'm correct before anything else. 

The ending though. What IS going to happen to Charming? We know that he was hit with a poison arrow, one that will put him through a slow and painful death. But he's such a main character. They can't kill him, right? That just doesn't seem logical at all. But then how in the galaxy does Charming survive? I'm just speculating here, but I'm pretty sure it's going to have something to do with Hook, because that makes a lot of sense. I won't say anything more though. 

But aside from all that, I realized something else, something that totally made me really happy. Neal wasn't in this episode at all! It was just such smooth sailing on the CaptainSwan front!

Oh, and I almost forgot! One of my friends suggested that every week I Disneybound as a character from Once Upon a Time. So last week was Emma of course, and this week I did Mary Margaret! The dress is really more of a Belle dress, but I added the Cardigan, hairstyle and some flats to make it more Mary Margaret. I can't wait for next week's though!!!

Anyways, here's today's Disney History: 1927: Walt Disney watches the Warner Brothers preview of The Jazz Singer (one of the first films to feature sound) at the Warner Theater in New York City. Walt realizes that he needs to add audio to his cartoons.

Have a magical day!

Day 272: The Heart of the Truest Believer

Alright, I held on posting this for a couple of reasons. One, to make sure that people had a couple of days to watch the first episode of Season 3 of Once Upon a Time, but also because I just honestly haven't had time to post much of anything for the past couple of weeks and am now just making it all back up!

Either way, as I'm sure you all know, Once Upon a Time has BEGUN! Again! That's right, for the next 10 weeks we have straight episodes of OUAT, and then a 12 week break that will probably kill me, and then another 11 episodes in the spring.

So let's talk a bit about this first episode. I know that before it premiered to everyone and it was just seen by the press, many commented that it reminded them why they love OUAT, and I totally agree. Everything was absolutely amazing. The opening scene, for instance, was perfect. Henry's birth was a great way to start out the season, especially when I really wasn't sure where or how it was going to start. That's also our only flashback in the entire episode, which is kind of new since we normally have like half flashback have current day.

So let's move on to Neverland in the current day. Things seem to be getting pretty tense all up on the Jolly Rodger. Emma doesn't exactly trust her parents, and calls them out on it as well. I know it's supposed to be serious as well, but I can't help but laugh every time she's like "But we're the same age" and it's like haha yeah you are!

Oh, and then Hook's constant awesome lines, like "Oh that's a good use of our time. A wardrobe change." Haha cracks me up every single time! Despite the fact that Rumple is the first to go AWOL, but you know, Hook is right. That's obviously the best use of their time...NOT. I mean, he totally even ruffled up his hair. What is up with that? But that wasn't Hook's only spectacular line. There was also the one near the end, "Actually I quite fancy you from time to time, when you're not yelling at me."

I think, actually, overall, this was the funniest episode to date in the way of one liners. Like half the cast says something at some point that's just absolutely hilarious. Like when Henry is like "we making smores?" or that comment from Regina about "Rainbow kisses and unicorn stickers." All great lines that had everyone in my OUAT party laughing.

But there was one portion of the episode that I didn't really like. I guess I just can't figure out why they got rid of Greg and Tamara so quickly. Like I want them dead as much as the next person, and I was actually like "YES!" when Tamara got shot with that arrow, but it just felt too quick for them to die. But we wonder if maybe Greg is still alive. We're still not sure how the whole shadow thing works, so yeah.

And the ending. That has to be the best ending since Graham back in season one. Just the creepiness of the line from Pan of "Let's Play," and then it cuts was like "NOOOOO HENRY!" As usual I can't wait until next Sunday to see the new episode, and with a little luck we'll get more CaptainSwan moments! I suppose I should touch on the fact that Neal is around and that's cool and all and he is Henry's dad, but I still love CaptainSwan way more. Hook and Emma...they just obviously belong together. And don't even get me started on how ridiculous HookedQueen is. Sorry to all you other shippers, but I will forever ship CaptainSwan! Neal does have some great one-liners though.

Either way, let's see. What's going to happen next week? I honestly have no clue what's all going to go on. I know we don't see Storybrooke in the next episode either, so that should be interesting. Henry...well something will happen to Henry in between these episodes. Emma is gonna become a Lost Girl, which we already know because that's the title of this next episode. Meanwhile Hook is totally doing exactly what the writer's hinted at...setting his sights on Emma, and I think it's amazing to see how he's changed as a character from his first episode until now. Rumple has something going on, and Neal is gonna try to get back to Emma...hopefully by then a pirate will be in the way. Regina is probably going to do something, well, Regina-like. She's awesome, but I just have this feeling that she might go AWOL like Rumple did at some point.

Also, although this really just adds pictures to this, one of my friends suggested after tonight that I Disneybound as a Once character for every episode, since tonight I pulled an Emma Disneybound! I do already have my character for next week but you'll just have to wait and see who it is!

Today on Frumpstagram it's "Best," and honestly one of the best things I've experienced at Walt Disney World was this: getting to be the last people in the Magic Kingdom and basically watch the Kiss Goodnight all by ourselves on Main Street.

Here's today's Disney History: 1980: Zachary Levi, the voice of Flynn Rider in Disney's 2010 animated Tangled, is born in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

Have a magical day!

Day 19: Mental Breakdowns

Sometimes I really wish I could do one of a few things, specifically when I have a mental breakdown like the one I just had.

I wish I could go to Neverland, where time stops and there aren't so many worries. No responsibilities, just fun and good friends and no weight on your shoulders. Actually, I'd just be fine with the time stopping part, because it seems that the thing I need most right now is time stopping. If I could just have more time then everything might work out ok.

If I couldn't go to Neverland, I wish that my life could be like in Star Wars, where when the Imperials attack the base, Han gets Leia and takes her away, even if only just to escape (and that escape probably turned into a month long vacation stuck on the Falcon). I wish that Han Solo would just fly in here and help me escape from, most of all my thoughts. Even if it wasn't Han Solo...just someone to come in and take me away and give me a break. Someone who won't put more on my plate when I'm no longer hungry.

But, sadly, neither of these things will ever happen. Granted, someday I might find someone willing to take me away, but that doesn't mean we could. In the meantime, I suppose I shall settle (not settle really, more like calm down) to the things that always calm me down...such as EPCOT music. Because I associate Disney World, EPCOT specifically, with being calm and happy, the music itself acts to calm me down...it's just more psychology that I somehow know what it means. I try to listen to it when I'm working, and especially when I'm stressed because it offers, if only for a few minutes, some peace and silence into my life filled with hectic things.

Of course, no matter how much I wish it would, the noise inside my head won't stop...not until this is all over...which who knows when that will be.

Sorry for the depressing post today guys...I'm just in a terrible mood and wish that everyone would leave me alone to finish the things I need to be doing...and stop telling me to stop being "cranky" because it's not like I want to be that either! All I honestly can hope for in the next week is that I get some sleep...although I doubt I will. Still, we can hope.

And even if my day is bad, you go out and have a very magical day.
